Well, high school seemed like such a blur, I didn't have much interest in sports or school elections. And in class I dreamed all day About a rock 'n' roll weekend
And the girl in the front of the room, So close yet so far you know, she never seemed to notice That this silly schoolboy crush Wasn't just pretend
Life goes by so fast You only wanna do what you think is right Close your eyes and it's past Story of my life, story of my life Story of my life, story of my life
And I went down to my old neighborhood The faces have all changed and there's no one left to talk to And the pool hall I loved as a kid Is now a 7-Eleven
And I went downtown to look for a job I had no training, no experience to speak of And I looked at the holes in my jeans And turned and headed back
Life goes by so fast You only wanna do what you think is right Close your eyes and it's past Story of my life, story of my life Story of my life, story of my life
[Bridge]
Good times come and good times go, I only wish the good times would last a little longer I think about the good times we had And why they had to end
So I sit at the edge of my bed I strum my guitar and I'm singin' out my love song Thinkin' 'bout what you're doin' now And when you're comin' back
Life goes by so fast You only wanna do what you think is right Close your eyes and it's past Story of my life, story of my life Story of my life, story of my life
